Tutorial Sculpted Orchid Beads

These sculpted polymer clay flowers are about 1" to 2" in diameter, which makes them ideal for pendants, pins, beads, hair ornaments, and more.

This step-by-step tutorial shows how to sculpt three types of orchids (cattleya, phalaenopsis, and dendrobium) from polymer clay. You will learn how to create beautiful color gradations and life-like petals – all of it using only polymer clay, your own hands, and a couple of simple tools. There are no molds, stamps, or forms of any kind involved in making these orchids.
